{"value"=>"<p>Darius Milhaud was a prolific French composer.</p> <p>He was born in Aix-en-Provence on September 4, 1892. As a child he improvised melodies at the piano and soon took up the violin. He entered the Paris Conservatoire in 1909, studying the violin with Berthelier, ensemble with Lefèvre, harmony with Leroux, counterpoint with André Gédalge, composition and fugue with Charles-Marie Widor, and conducting with Vincent d'Indy. He received first \"accessit\" in violin and counterpoint, and second in fugue, winning the Prix Lepaulle for composition.</p> <p>Milhaud went on to become one of the noted composed named \"Les Six\" because of their modernistic impact on France during the 1920s.</p> <p>There are numerous reference works that provide ample biographical information on his life.</p>"}
